Immune Boost in Poultry

Immune Boost in Poultry

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) extract given in ovo at 0.2 mL per egg increased antibody response to significantly higher than control and 0.1 mL groups (p < 0.05). The study followed 165 fertile eggs over 8 weeks, showing improved humoral immunity after vaccination challenge, strengthening disease resistance in poultry without relying on antibiotics.
